The Center Seat: 55 Years of "Star Trek"

Nitcentral's Bulletin Brash Reflections: ClassicTrek: The Classic Trek Sink: The Center Seat: 55 Years of "Star Trek"

A new History Channel series documents the history of Star Trek from the very beginning, starting with Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz' purchase of the RKO studios to form Desilu. It can be viewed on TV (Fridays at 10-does that sound familiar? ) or (maybe-it's not there yet) on the History streaming app. One nitpick about episode one-it implies that TOS started it's second season Fridays at 10 p.m. As we know, season two aired Fridays at 8:30 p.m.; its third season was on Fridays at 10.
I don't know how far the series will go, but it's still interesting. Even though little in it is new to me, it's well worth a look.

More about the series can be seen at the History Channel site here. You may even be able to watch episodes there.

Errr...they already got a minor fact wrong (the second season timeslot)?
If I watch this I'll be yelling at my TV if they make more mistakes!

When this turns up on the Canadian History Channel, I'll give it a watch.

Turns out this show is airing in Canada after all, on CTV Sci-Fi (our version of the Syfy Channel). I've seen the first two episodes, which dealt with the Original Series and Animated. It airs Thursday nights at 10:00 and is repeated the following Monday at 9:00 PM.

Looks good, but I'll probably jump ship when they reach the Kurtzman Abominations.

In the commercials for this, there were a couple of stills showing Kirk in a blue shirt. But I don't think the show itself did that.

When they covered the TOS movies, they stopped at The Voyage Home. Hmmmmm....
